VOID INSTRUCTIONS:
Quentin has changed the theme file extension from .CMT to .ZIP so steps 1 & 3 are not necessary.
************************************************************************************************
1) rename theme.cmt to theme.zip unzip it and unzip it
2) modify the files contained inside with your own visual creativity
3) zip them up and rename .zip to .cmt

Ok so i changed the theme.cmt to theme.zip, but now when i try to change it bak to .cmt it doesn't allow me. Basically when i right click on the file I don't get "theme.zip" i just get "theme". Any idea how i can change it bak to cmt?

Tvith, In Windows you would open up Windows Explorer, Choose the Tools menu, Folder Options, click the View tab, de-select "Hide extensions for known file types" Click OK until everything is closed out. Now you'll see the .zip and can change it to .cmt.

THANKS my friend

I do as you sad
1) rename theme.cmt to theme.zip
2) unzip it and modify the files contained inside with your own visual creativity
3) zip them up and rename .zip to .cmt
but zhe theme dosen't work
ask for help

remove THUMBS.DB before zip and try (hidden file in folder)
When zipping remove links and references to HIDDEN FILES AND SYSTEM FILES
Make no COMPRESSION when zipping.

This might work - please report back...

A final solution that works for sure:
1 Take a theme zip and open files in Photoshop/Notes.
2 Do whatever you want in those files - remember to merge layers
3 Save files back into ZIP or;
4 Drag back into THEME ZIP from folder and accept replacement of file in archive.
USE THEME IN PHONE...

Are there zip settings I am not aware of that I need to change to make this work?

PS I stopped pcm before changing the theme and I tested the original theme, it works...all I'm changing from the darkglass theme is the string contact_description_box= as stated in another thread by Paul

On the mac I had to download an app called zipit and then all I did was open it, change the settings file, copy the new settings back into the folder, remove the original one, and close...I'll keep experimenting to get it to work with other apps like stufit, but I now have a way to do it...thanks again,

Disregard - There must have been a problem with the theme file, others work fine. Sorry!

Geez, you'd think this would be easy. I downloaded iphone.cmt from another thread, renamed it to iphone.zip and copied it to the dir on the Touch Elf. The ZIP file is okay, shows all of the files inside it (graphics and settings.ini) and I now have an 'iphone' theme when I select themes.

However, nothing changes (I just get the same as the 'White' theme). If I change to Black them, it changes okay.

Which one of these controls how wide the sensor area on the touch screen is for when you scroll down the left and or right sides of the screen and it gives you the Letters to go to (the large A, B, C etc as you scroll down the screen with your finger).

is there a way to have to different font styles on the same line in the contact list. I would like to have the first name regular and the lastname bold. I can get the first and last name on there (%firstname %lastname), but I have not been able to find a way to have 2 different styles.

Could these be added to the .lang.ini file. If so which file overrides who. Does the lang.ini override the setting.ini. so if someone puts a theme out there with different setting then I have in the .lang.ini file will my setting override the theme?
